The three officers talked over some of the details of getting the lads to the training camp. Afterward the con- ducting officer, the M.O., and I got our things together and piled into a truck, which took us to the railroad station. The boys had marched to the station, a mile and a half from the camp, ahead of us and were already in their three cars by the time we got there. An officer who had hiked with the boys as- sured the conducting officer that all the men were accounted for and on the train. The train pulled out of Moncton at 2:40 P.M. The three cars the boys occupied were old tourist sleepers of the Canadian National Railways. The seats seemed to be made of leather-covered boards. The conducting officer, the medical of- ficer, and I had berths in a Pullman. "Tithin an hour or two the boys had settled down, some of them talking in low tones, some reading, some playing bridge on variously improvised tables, , some eating chocolate, others looking out I , the windows at the water, trees, hills, , and unpainted shacks which make up the scenery in that part of the world. I joined four boys with whom, it turned out, I was to spend much of the time on the trip. They were Jack, nineteen, of\Var- wick, outside Coventry; Tom, twenty, of Birmingham; Jimmy, twenty-six, of Edinburgh; and Bob, nineteen, of Fife- shire, near the Firth of Forth. T om was an especially articulate young man, and at first the other boys let him do much of the talking. He said he hoped someday to write a book about the war. "It will be a sort of schoolboys' history," he said. He ex- plained that he was putting most of his material in ten-page letters he wrote each day to either his parents or his girl. Letters that long are something of a chore, and I remarked on the fact to T " Oh " J k . l W I l . om. , ac SaIl, 0111 stUl les half the night and then spends the rest of it scratching away with his pen." That evening, during an hour's stop in St. John, New Brunswick, the boys ate dinner in the station restaurant, in three shifts. \\'hen the train pulled out, I rejoined the boys. Each had a small knapsack and a blanket and was sup- posed to make himself comfortable with them. There were no mattresses, pil- lows, or sheets for the berths. Here and there in the cars, some of the boys had made up their berths and were trying to sleep, using their folded jackets or knap- sacks as pillows. Others wel-e playing bridge or were singing "Old Black Joe" OCTOBER. JO, 194 J ))) K it -j;F" . t;:/ , . .:.; ,'- if .1"- A f,\:t\\\\ t c!J 0, C \ t" ..
